    Ordered something on Amazon, got an email 5 mins later, “We upgraded you to same day delivery, it will be there by 5 PM!” How will anyone ever compete with them?

        I buy my dog stuff from @Chewy -- better selection, ecommerce experience is fine and they focus on niche. AMZN prob buys them at some point.

        Free because you buy Prime. I doubt anyone (yet) is totally free.

        Yesterday, I went from "Hmm, I could use a new shirt" to "I am now walking home with my new shirt" in ~30 minutes, including a stop for a cappuccino. Both relevant local businesses hire locally, treat their employees well, and pay their fair share of taxes - unlike Amazon.

        I'm afraid it's to late to compete with Amazon simply because the marketplace is already well structured: Layer 1: The Internet. Layer 2: Google, FB, Amazon. Layer 3: Entities that help you get the most out of layer 2. Incoming innovations: VR, AI and Voice. 💡

        Yup, they are fully aware that an innovation could produce a new wave of Zuckerbergs that could reshape the structure of the marketplace so they're trying to be the first ones. 💡

        Exactly. But the thing is, there is still a chance they miss something. And history will be made.

        In practicality, massive corporations are slow and easily shift attention to flashy things. On the other side, a team of indie developers who derive directly from a specific niche could build the next powerful thing.

        Listening to @typesfast on YC podcast, said the only chink in their armor is that they knock off their own distributors and that over time it could create a conflict. Not much, but it’s something.

        american amazon seems so magical. canadian amazon is like "we have some of the stuff that your local walmart has priced 50% higher and it'll take 8 business days to get to you"
